Forgive me if I seem simple here but I’m having trouble getting the battlescreen to work.
I have an Xbox one, and a windows 7 laptop (incidentally with enough hardware to run commander mode, if only) connected on the same network. When I’m in a game and access Battlelog, I see the blue bar that appears with loadout/battlescreen etc but clicking the battlescreen logo loads a prompt window to install smartglass. Which requires windows 8.1.
So I guess my question is, is there any way to utilise my setup for a functional battlescreen without having to shell out and invest time in upgrading to an OS I frankly can’t stand or afford?
Well that just sucks. It wasn’t enough that I payed out for the 360 copy, xbone copy, the xbone itself and premium… but I have to get a new OS too? Fuck that.
When hawking ‘features’ like battlescreen and commander mode I think they should be made to explicity specify the external hardware [edit- and software] required on the box.
I know you don’t necessarily need more hardware for commander mode but you do if you want to use it as advertised, away from your console/PC. I feel misled.
